Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and Dodge for Charity with the ‘Dodgeball’ Cast

The greatest sports drama in history was told in 2004’s Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. Now, the heroes of that dramatic retelling–the Purple Cobras of Globo Gym–are stepping up to a challenge by the upstarts from Average Joe’s Gymnasium for an all-out, no-holds-barred, winner-donates-all-to-charity game of dodgeball. And because it’s an Omaze campaign, generous donors have a chance at winning a spot on the roster!

Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Justin Long and Christine Taylor star in this new campaign video announcing the event. Here’s what Omaze is offering in exchange for your charitable donation:

Ben Stiller wants you to grab a ball. Join Team Globo Gym—or Average Joe’s, if losing is your thing—as they face off on the dodgeball court for one final showdown. Strap on your kneepads, hike up your shorts and put on your sweatband. It’s rematch time and you’re on the squad. Goodman and the guys will train you to throw wrenches and dodge blindfolded with the best. The competition is fierce this time and you’re going to need to step it up. Get outfitted in custom-made team t-shirts and let the balls fly. After the game (aka, after the Purple Cobras dominate), you’ll take a team photo together so you can remember the time you crushed Average Joe’s once and for all. Then, you and Ben will grab some pizza to celebrate. Flights and hotel are on us.
